"Brilliant, creative writing. His next book should be a novel."
-Temple Grandin, Ph.D., author of Thinking in Pictures
"With a voice as keen and honest as any I've ever had the pleasure
of reading, Jesse Saperstein cracks open the underbelly of life
with Asperger's, mesmerizing readers with a tale that is as
fabulously incorrigible as it is strikingly compelling. Jesse
Saperstein is the son I always wanted!"
-Liane Holliday Willey, author of Pretending to be Normal: Living
with Asperger's Syndrome
"This funny, poignant, and honest book provides further evidence
that Asperger's Syndrome is no cookie-cutter diagnosis. Atypical
also informs us that Jesse Saperstein is a wonderful addition to
the world of Asperger literature."
-Michael John Carley, executive director of The Global and Regional
Asperger Syndrome Partnership (GRASP) and author of Asperger's From
the Inside Out
"Honest, funny, bristling with ideas and intelligence, Jesse A.
Saperstein's Atypical marks the debut of a bright young voice from
the Asperger's community."
-Tim Page, author of Parallel Play and professor at the University
of Southern California
"Amusing, surprising, and informative. Just when I thought I had
learned all I can from personal accounts, I had the chance to read
this one!"
-Jerry Newport, author of Mozart and the Whale, with Mary Newport
and Johnny Dodd
"Jesse Saperstein's wise and compelling memoir lets us know how
frustrating and strange life can be for a bright, resourceful young
man with Asperger's navigating the typical world. Funny,
irreverent, and ultimately forgiving of all the damage we
'well-adjusted' typicals wreak on those who are a little different
from us."
-Sigourney Weaver, actress
"By describing his experience with honesty, passion and deep
clarity, Saperstein allows a so-called 'neurotypical' like myself
to completely identify with his atypicality. A very powerful
read."
-Bruce Altman, actor
"Jesse Saperstein is witty, insightful, and smart. He is also
caring, social, emotional, empathetic, and able to learn from his
mistakes and other people's rudeness-all traits we are often told
that people with Asperger's don't have. I highly recommend this
book to parents, educators, community members-frankly, to everyone.
Jesse, I want to know what happens next; I hope you are working on
a sequel!"
-Chantal Sicile-Kira, author of Autism Spectrum Disorders and
Autism Life Skills
